NEW MEXECO's LATEST TRAGEDY.
Two Mon Killed for the Purpose of Kob

Two Mon Killed for tho Purpose of Rob
bery.
SANTA FE, n. M, Jan. 2l.-The report
that Jack McLain snd Fred Aberdeen had
been murdered al farmers ranch, near
Hudson, in Grant county, was confirmed
to-day. A neighbor going to the ranch
found McLain lying dead on the ground
near the house with three bullet holes in
mis- body. Just inside the house
Aberdeen's corpse was found on
the floor. He had a bullet
hole through his head from which his
blood and brains had oozed. The bodies
of both men had been stripped of all val
tables including clothing, boots and
weapons, and the murderers had also
ransacked the house, carrying off every
thing OF value. After completing their
work they stole horse owned by
McLain and then went to Indian
Springs, where they gathered in six more
horses belonging to Mr.. Dane. The
excitement caused by the affair is intense
all through Grant county. The perpe-
traitors of the outrage are believed to be
part of the same gang of Mexican thieves
and robbers who were Concerned in the
killing of Deputy Sheriff Hall some time
ago, and if they are caught they will GER
tainly be lynched.

FURTHER PARTICULARS
OF the Terrible Tragedy Near springto wn
in Parker County.

IN farker county,
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SPRINGTowN, TEX, Jan. 20.-News
comes to us to-day of terrible tragedy
enacted yesterday, on Salt creek, about
five miles west of here. Mr.. John w.
Dickey, well known in this country as
most exemplary citizen, killed his wife
and only child with billet of wood and
shot himself. He had, for several
weeks, shown occasional signs of mental
alteration, but was not considered
dangerous. Yesterday, about sunset,
without any warning signs, ne suddenly
seized Ratchet and sprang toward his
wife, but her mother caught the weapon,
and in the struggle the handle came out.
Mrs. Dickey ran out through the kitchen
with her husband in pursuit, and as he
passed the wood-boX he seized 8 stick,
and overtaking his wife Just outside the
door, struck her blow on the back OF
the head that killed her in
stantly. Returning to the house
he snatched his four-year-old son from
the arms of his mother-in-law and beat
him to death with the same stick. Turn
ing upon his mother-in-law, he struck her
several blows, but she managed to escape,
and run some distance from the house
and fell fainting. Dickey then stood at
his wife's head, placed pistol in his own
mouth and fired, the ball passing out at
the back Of the head. The injuries of
Mrs. Christian, the mother-in law, are
not considered serious. The three vic
tins of the poor mans insane rage will
be buried here tomorrow. Mr.. Dickey
was in good circumstances, and his do
nestle relations had always been OF the
most pleasant character.

Jersey City Boys SNOWFALL P1nkerton's
Men and n BYstander is Killed.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 2l.-Last
evening while a party of boys were play
ing in an open lot adjoining the yards of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company, a fracas occurred be-
tween tie boys and Pinkerton's men.
Thomas Hogan, siXteen-yearS old,
locker on, was shot and killed by one of
Pinkerton's men. The boys were jeering
thu Pinkerton men who Were stationed in
the company's yalds to protect the
property. Occasionally they rained a
shower OF snoHballs upon the men.
Near by stood crowd of strikers and
their sympsthizers, who lent encourage
ment to the boys. At length the leader of
the Pinkerton men stepped forward
and ordered the boys to stop throwing
at them. The boys did not obey
him, and almost Immediately three sharp
cracks of a revolver rang out and Hogan
fell dead. The excitement was intense.
The lockers on fed in every direction.
the leader of the strikers, as soon as ne
could get his men together, ordered them

A FALSE CONSTRUCTION.
No Legal Obstacle IN the Way of State
And for the Drouth Sufferers.

No Legal Obstacle IN tho Way of State
And for the Drouth Sufferers.
ALBANY, Ten, Jan. is, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette
1t is rather strange that lawyers in the
legislature are found to construe section
81, of article 8, of the state constitution,
as stumbling block in the way of appro-
priating money for the benefit OF the
drouth sufferers.
Such construction would lead one to
believe that the article had no such pro-
viso as the following: "Provided, that
this shall not be so construed as to pre-
vent the grant of aid in csse of public Ca
lamity." 1t does not require great legal
acumen to perceive that this proviso re-
moves the inhibition contained in section
81. Gentlemen of the legislature, will
this procrastlnation be received by the
suffering as an honest endeavor to legally
provide relief Or, instead of regarding
the constitutional aspect of the case,
would 1t not be we'll to regard the drouth
Question, to speak technically. as "fact
case?"
AS secretary of the meeting of county
judges held in Albany last month, there
has been placed before me, under oath,
ample evidence that "public calamity"
has befallen these people, and almost
every mail receive additional testimony.
Our central aid committee, with Hon. j.
r. Fleming at it's head, is organized to
receive and distribute carefully and judi
ciously all donations, whether drom the
state or individuals.

Texas Needs No Militia.

LAMPASAs, TEN, Jan. l., 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
The recommendation of Gov. Ireland in
his recent message that a liberal appro-
priation be made to improve the efficiency
of the military of the state is, to our man.
ner of thinking, quite contrary to the
genius of Democratic institutions, and to
any one familiar with the news of the
day, who has read the recent speeches OF
Bismarck, Moltke and others of the old
world, whose only idea of peace is an
overwhelming army, will shudder to
think that anyone in our free America,
much less statesman, should encour-
age the idea that peace in our liberty
loving country depends on well organ
lied military. Go back to the opening of
the late war, when not one in probably a
hundred of our citizens were ever in a
military camp, and see whether or not
their patriotism or efficiency depended on
an expensive military education.
Let q riot, rebellion or a border
trouble arise, and a call be made to stay
its ravages, and if needed, 100000 brave
Texans would answer the roll call in ten
days. No, sir, we need no military, and
the expense of their equipment and main
tenance would be more appropriately
used if made to complete the Confeder-
ate Soldiers home, under consideration
BY our generous people-an object worthy
of sustenance and against which no
tongue can offer an objection.
Let those read the late address of the
Hon. Secretary Bayard before Yale
college, choose between the sentiment
there expressed and that approving the
costly maintenance of useless military
organization.
Let American liberty sustain herself
with the civilization of the Nineteeth
century, rather than with the barbaric
methods of the dark ages.
